It was a beautiful home with modern upgrades and original architecture and other beautiful surprises. I wish we could have been here more than one night. We enjoyed the games that were there for our use, put together a puzzle, enjoyed family time together, time at the nearby beach, and it was perfectly situated to board our cruise the next morning.

Madi and Grandma & Grandpa: special time

The Belle is outstanding! Galveston has been a bi-annual destination for us for about 35 years. The San Luis received most of my business. We rented houses & condos on the West End and Pirate’s Cove. NOTHING compares to The Bell!! Extraordinary comfort, beauty, nostalgia and history describe The Belle. And location! The Belle is perfectly located to enjoy EVERYTHING that Galveston offers. The host and hostess are superb in creating a holiday haven getaway! My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Many heartfelt thanks to the host & hostess.
